I finally got the last of my gear in the mail today and setup my new press on the bench tonight. I never made it out to T&T reloading earlier in the week, so will go tomorrow morning to pick up powder and primers. I can't wait to start making my own ammo!

 

 

thats a nice set up Tony .

Nice.

 

When are you going to shoot down that helicopter ?

Nice.

LOL! Trust me I've thought about it... I've crashed and rebuilt that damn thing about 100,000 times already, as it's so hard to fly. I fly RC planes as well... and they are so easy to fly compared to Helis. I've about given up flying the heli and it just hangs out in the garage most of the time.

Looks like a nice solid top, and should hold that press in place real good.

 

What is that light blue stuff on top? I use my bench when I am cleaning my guns and the wood top tends to soak up anything that

drops on it. I looking to put something on top of mine that's easy to clean.

Tony - you might want to add a lip to that shelf above the reloading bench as you may transfer vibration to the wall and I can just see your funnel and bullet puller slipping off that shelf.

Yeah the bench top is about 2" or maybe thicker and is solid wood. It must be a hardwood because it's solid as a rock and heavy as heck.

 

The blue stuff on top is a rubber-like, oversized anti static mat. I like to tinker with lots of stuff on the bench (electronics, computers, building RC stuff, etc) so it works nicely. I think it's made by 3M. It wipes down easy when it gets dirty and works great as a work surface. Good stuff.

The bench actually doesn't touch the wall so there's no vibration transfer to the wall. Probably a good idea to add a lip to the shelf anyway. Thanks for the suggestion. :-)
